No pride

[piercetruth34]

Too much political correctness. Evan Turner is god awful. Marcus is about the only guy on this team who might have some KG in him. He needs the ball more though.

[celtics2030]

he was 0-5 from 3, Hes been abysmal this month.....

he doesnt need the ball more....he needs to drive more , and get into the paint more for some floaters or something

his 3 pointers have only led to points on the other end. Enough is enough.

Well Jeremy Lin was torching Turner over and over and no adjustment whatsoever..  I'll take Smart as my pg over an ex 76er and top pick of theirs.  Sry.   [edited.]

Why are you mad though? Why are you brining up meaningless things. Who care's about turner...

Stop making an excuse of "hes got K.G. heart" , this is only brung up because he stinks in actual stats...

As bad as turner is hes still a +8 compared to Smart's -4, Turner has 10 assists, and one more Turnover than Smart....defensively he isnt and never will be good , but thats because he sucks..

But of course you don't offer up any criticism or analysis on Marcus

You just give the good old "hes got heart" bull crap.

[piercetruth34]

At least AB has heart too.  I don't want to see Turner playing point.  If he wasn't playing point this game would be over by now.  We drafted Marcus.  I want to see Marcus play. I don't want to see turner.

 Defensively nobody can stay in front of anybody. Everyone says we need a rim protector, which we do, but at the same time you have to be able to stay in front of someone. Offensively it's sad that nobody besides Isaiah Thomas can create their own shot. Makes it hard on the offense when that happens.

Hey look turner clanks two shots and lin is linsanity.... Smart is on the bench.

Sometimes, its up to the center and power forward to read the play and step up and cut off the penetrator. It comes under the heading of team defense.

I agree about Smart.  He really needs to stop taking all those 3's.  Also, it looks like Young is not ready for prime time.  He is very hesitant about taking a "3" because he cannot make them.

This I agree with 100 percent.

Turner really sucks. Every now and then he'll show flashes of brilliance like his buzzer beater vs Atlanta and his passes but other than that, he's a total idiot.

Has no poise, fluidity or consistency to his game.

Not to mention, you really need to look yourself in the mirror when Nick Young carves you up on defense.

Yes definitely, rotations have been suspect under Brad Stevens. Has to improve to improve the total team D.

[guava_wrench]

Yes, Turner is bad. Our team is bad. This is not news.

Guys who force the issue like Lin will have games when it works. I am not a fan of going Chicken Little based off of the most recent game. Everyone gets lit up in the NBA.

If "rotations have been suspect under Brad Stevens", it is because we have a bunch of mediocre young guys. Among our older vets, Wallace is the only one known for defense. If you could make just anyone good at defense, every team would have great rotations.

I think pride might be the only thing we aren't lacking right now. Talent would be a more accurate criticism.

I love smart but he is in one doozy of a slump. However he is driving way more so that is a good sign. We have seen flashes of outside shooting from him so hopefully as he works throughout the offseason his shooting can be more like December-January smart that February smart.

I think AB has been great the past 2 games defensively I don't know what happened to the bulldog AB but this is the first we have seen of him all year and if he can continue that type of play our backcourt looks great for the next 3 years.

I don't get the ET hate... We'll yes I do but it's a bit excessive. For 2 mil a year he gives you a bit of everything. He makes some boneheaded plays and he can be a bit of a blackhole but he's had to step up and play point for us at times and prior to Isaiah's arrival he's been the only guy who can handle the ball on our team.

Let me be clear I don't see him as a part of our long term plan (if he is then we are ****ed) but he's a filler guy who can give you minutes at the 1,2,3 he can score a bit rbound well for his position and he distributes the ball shockingly well.

Lastly he's garbage on defense but getting lit up by nick young isn't as bad as you make it out to be. Swaggy P is a scorer, and a very good one at that. (Unless you meant swaggy carves you up on d as is in he dominates when he is playing d in which case you are on point)
